Bill > HR4193

This bill aims to modify existing transportation regulations by directing the Secretary of Transportation to update the definition of "significantly delayed or changed flight" within 180 days of the bill's enactment. Specifically, the bill reduces the time threshold for what constitutes a significant flight delay from 3 hours to 2 hours for domestic flights and from 6 hours to 5 hours for international flights. By lowering these thresholds, the bill seeks to provide more consumer protection and accountability for airlines when flights experience substantial delays. The proposed changes would be implemented by amending section 260.2 of title 14 in the Code of Federal Regulations, which governs airline transportation rules. The bill's title, "Time is Money Act," suggests an intent to recognize the value of passengers' time and potentially create stronger incentives for airlines to minimize flight delays.
